00:00Like, I was shocked when, you know, when I saw the Mets win in Atlanta the way they did

00:09on the Lindor home run, then we saw the Alonzo home run in Milwaukee and the ninth inning

00:14with one out.

00:15That was crazy.

00:16Then we see them get their ass beat in game one.

00:19They were literally sleepwalking nine, nothing.

00:22And then they turn around and smack them.

00:24They're up six and they win.

00:26Now they're home for three.

00:28And they have been the best team in baseball, better than the Dodgers, better than the Phillies,

00:32better than the Yankees, better than the Astros, better than the Guardians, better than the

00:36Tigers, Royals.

00:37They have been the best team in baseball since June 1st.

00:41That's all there is to it.

00:43Period.

00:44Period.

00:45Stop.

00:46They just have been and they're fun to watch.

00:47And this new version of Sean Mania we're seeing right now, where he's just taking pages out

00:50of Chris Sale's book, dominating that game against the Dodgers, not to mention dominating

00:54the Brewers right before that.

00:55The only thing that's interesting is, we talked about it on my show, we're like, can

00:59this Mets team win game two?

01:01Because if they didn't, to me, it was all she wrote.

01:03They were not going to give, they were not coming back to LA.

01:06This was going to be a five game series.

01:07And I thought wholeheartedly that the Mets were going to drop yesterday's game until

01:11six pitches into Francisco Lindor's first at bat.

01:14That was an elite at bat that ended up nine pitches with a home run.

01:18This team is resilient.

01:19They are good.

01:21And quite frankly, you put them in a chaos spot.

01:24They're amazing.

01:25And what I mean by that is, they played, what, 15 straight games.

01:28They had to play 16 games in that span just to make the dance, let alone continue to play

01:32throughout the dance.

01:34You give them a day off to go play the Dodgers.

01:35They show up asleep.

01:36The Dodgers beat their ass.

01:37You show up at literally 12 hours later for a quick turnaround in the next game.

01:41They beat the Dodgers ass.

01:43As long as you make it hard for the Mets, the Mets will win.

01:47Yeah, I think Quintana has been great.

01:49I know Diaz gets people's heart racing.

01:52But when he struck out, swore by him with 101 gas, a BB, that was, and he was lit too.

01:59He was just like, don't touch me.

02:01He was like, I'm not jumping up and down.

02:04Don't touch me.

02:05He was just lit.

02:06I think they got really exciting, lit guys that want to win.

02:11And I've hated them my whole life, but I don't hate this team.

02:15I just pretend that they're not the Mets.

02:17I just pretend like they're a really good team that's fun to watch, like you said, how

02:20fun they are to watch.

02:21Dude, they are a blast to watch.

02:24And we had, you know, how he rose on the show last week.

02:27And I asked him, what's the difference between this Mets team to other Mets teams?

02:30Tell, what's the difference in Brandon Nimmo right now compared to the guy that I played

02:34with Brandon Nimmo in 2017?

02:36And he described this Mets team as like, dude, you go in that locker room, you look around,

02:40there's no clicks.

02:41I've been in a lot of big league locker rooms.

02:43When I say there are clicks is an understatement.

02:45It's this section over here, this section of four guys, the Latin guys over there, the

02:50college guys over here, and it's just a direct, it's just completely separated group.

02:54They said in that locker room, it's everybody is together.

02:57You got you got Alonzo playing dominoes with Lindor, who's playing dominoes with Diaz,

03:02who who's playing a playing indoor basketball game over there with McNeil.

03:07It's just a tight knit group of dudes and watching guys like Nimmo.

03:11I mean, dude, if you didn't watch Nimmo after that division series where he's at second

03:14base by himself, kind of separating, kind of taking it all in the guy that was drafted

03:18first round in 2011.

03:20This is guy was left off the playoff roster in 1516, struggling in AAA with me in 17,

03:27all the way to this all star in a multi year deal.

03:29And now just a heartbeat away from the World Series and the crowd chanting Nimmo over and

03:33over again.

03:34Dude, there's something legitimately special brewing in Queens, and it ain't going anywhere

03:39anytime soon.
